Description
“Zeppelin” is the second full-length from “everyone’s favourite garlic-dodging anti heroes” (Metal Hammer, UK), the London-based vampire metal act, STUKA SQUADRON. The band is well known as one of the progenitors of the NWOTHM and have been working on this comeback album for nigh-on a decade after tribulations following the release of the semi-legendary “Tales of the Ost” in 2011. On this new record they move the action on (or perhaps back) from the World War II – themed debut, as our heroes pursue a most ancient Enemy of Mankind all the way back to 1916.
It’s a heavy metal tale of time travel, The Great War, airships and the Stuka pilots’ face-off with the notorious Rasputin himself. It consists of 13 tracks of Maiden-esque and very varied metallic mayhem. The songs are cunningly crafted with elegant melodies, clever wordplay, bang-your-head riffs and bang-your-fist choruses and an absolute absence of cheese. STUKA SQUADRON have grown as songwriters since their debut, and the current line-up is set to please old fans anew and convert newcomers by the thousand… So check out the greatest metal band ever formed by undead pilots who flew in World War II… If you want epic and inspiring metal along the lines of BLIND GUARDIAN, ICED EARTH, DEMONS & WIZARDS, IRON MAIDEN, HELL, SAVATAGE, HELLOWEEN, JUDICATOR, SAVAGE CIRCUS and PERSUADER, “Zeppelin” is for you!
